Popular Post E9V8 Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 These pictures recently surfaced on a Facebook group for my local area. The truck was in service at CH&L in the 70's/80's and was notorious for shedding the driveshaft when the rookies got behind the wheel. I grew up a few houses away from the Milesburg firehouse and remember it well.Some of the replies claim it to be a 1949 L model, but I was almost certain it was an EH? (I know it's not an L model)New - with the Alpha Fire Company in State College, PA:At Citizens Hook & Ladder in Milesburg, PA:Current whereabouts unknown. 6 Quote TerryJulian, PA Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38889-mack-rescue-squad-truck-from-my-old-hometown/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 That is an EH grille.The grille was used on some heavier trucks like an EM, EQ, etc, as well. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Interesting that it has a split windshield like the L models. I suspect the body builder installed it. It is also very similar to the CD squads that were everywhere. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 No doubt it is an E-Model. Being the standard E and A Model cab was much narrower than the body installed on chassis they would have to use either a large one piece ot the split windshield. Only other option would be to taper body in at windshield. Nice looking truck.

609albert Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 nice looking Mack , I would agree it is E, in Pa. several rescue bodies where built by a co. called Harwick, known for their rounded body corners . Wyndwood (sprinfield twp) Pa .just had their 58 'B' mack restored last year ,it has a Harwick body and was built as a rescue with a pump on it .It really ahead of it's time 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38889-mack-rescue-squad-truck-from-my-old-hometown/#findComment-278730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM, EQ and maybe EH also.Thank you for sharing this nice vehicle. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38889-mack-rescue-squad-truck-from-my-old-hometown/#findComment-280219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
